Connecting Mackay Youth Panel (12 - 25 years)

Do you want to share your ideas on local projects and help shape our future? Join the Mackay region's Connecting Mackay Youth Panel.

What is the Connecting Mackay Youth Panel?

The Connecting Mackay Youth Panel is a voluntary group of Mackay region tweens and young adults who commit to participating in regular surveys throughout the year that can help shape our region. The panel has been created to provide regular, convenient online opportunities for interested community members to provide feedback on local projects and initiatives.

We are looking for youths between the ages of 12 and 25 years, with different backgrounds and interests to take part in this new initiative!

A separate Connecting Mackay Panel (18+) is available for those aged 18 and older. If you would like to also join this panel click here.

What's involved in being a Youth Panellist?

You can register for the panel by completing the registration form below. Once we have 20 people on board, the panel will be officially launched and we will begin to send you approximately three surveys a year as projects happen. Panellists must be registered users of the Connecting Mackay website.

Panellists will receive updates on the surveys via a six-monthly enewsletter.

Youth panellists who are under 16 years require their parent' or guardian's consent.
